I haven't taken biology in a few years, so I may be wrong, but to me it looks like mitosis, since it only divides once, and if I can see the picture correctly it looks like each cell contains the same amount of chromosomes, but I can't see the picture very well. If it helps here are some differences between meiosis and mitosis:

1. Cell Division

Mitosis: A somatic cell divides once. Cytokinesis (the division of the cytoplasm) occurs at the end of telophase.

Meiosis: A reproductive cell divides twice. Cytokinesis happens at the end of telophase I and telophase II.

2. Daughter Cell Number

Mitosis: Two daughter cells are produced. Each cell is diploid containing the same number of chromosomes.

Meiosis: Four daughter cells are produced. Each cell is haploid containing one-half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

3. Genetic Composition

Mitosis: The resulting daughter cells in mitosis are genetic clones (they are genetically identical). No recombination or crossing over occur.

Meiosis: The resulting daughter cells contain different combinations of genes. Genetic recombination occurs as a result of the random segregation of homologous chromosomes into different cells and by the process of crossing over (transfer of genes between homologous chromosomes).

4. Length of Prophase

Mitosis: During the first mitotic stage, known as prophase, chromatin condenses into discrete chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers form at opposite poles of the cell. A cell spends less time in prophase of mitosis than a cell in prophase I of meiosis.

Meiosis: Prophase I consists of five stages and lasts longer than prophase of mitosis. The five stages of meiotic prophase I are leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis. These five stages do not occur in mitosis. Genetic recombination and crossing over take place during prophase I.

5. Tetrad Formation

Mitosis: Tetrad formation does not occur.

Meiosis: In prophase I, pairs of homologous chromosomes line up closely together forming what is called a tetrad. A tetrad consists of four chromatids (two sets of sister chromatids).

6. Chromosome Alignment in Metaphase

Mitosis: Sister chromatids (duplicated chromosome comprised of two identical chromosomes connected at the centromere region) align at the metaphase plate (a plane that is equally distant from the two cell poles).

Meiosis: Tetrads (homologous chromosome pairs) align at the metaphase plate in metaphase I.

7. Chromosome Separation

Mitosis: During anaphase, sister chromatids separate and begin migrating centromere first toward opposite poles of the cell. A separated sister chromatid becomes known as daughter chromosome and is considered a full chromosome.

Meiosis: Homologous chromosomes migrate toward opposite poles of the cell during anaphase I. Sister chromatids do not separate in anaphase I.

I can add the similarities between them if you need. This work is not mine, I got it from thoughtCo.

Good luck :)

A group of students are studying the magnetic field of Earth. Which of these layers of Earth interact to create Earth's magnetic

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

The inner core (which is solid) is the hottest layer of the earth. It, therefore, contributes to heating up the outer core. The outer core is liquid and rotation of the earth (Coriolis effect) causes the molten rocks to swirl like a tornado. Because the outer core is mostly made of metals, that have lost electrons and hence charged (due to the enormous heat), the swilring effect causing an electric effect. This consequently causes the dynamo effect that creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field covers the earth and protects it from harmful radiation from the solar storms.

Iodine is prepared both in the laboratory and commercially by adding Cl2(g) to an aqueous solution containing sodium iodide. 2Na

otez555 [7]

Answer:

79.0 g

Explanation:

1. Gather the information in one place.

MM: 148.89 253.81

2NaI + Cl2 → I2 + 2NaCl

m/g: 67.3

2. Moles of I2

n = 67.3 g × (1 mol/253.81 g) = 0.2652 mol I2

2. Moles of NaI needed

From the balanced equation, the molar ratio is 2 mol NaI: 1 mol I2

n = 0.028 76 mol I2× (2 mol NaI/1 mol I2) = 0.5303 mol NaI

3. Mass of NaI

m = 0.5303 mol × (148.89 g/1 mol) = 79.0 g NaI

It takes 79.0 g of NaI to produce 67.3 g of I2.

50cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution was titrated against a solution of sulfuric acid. The concentration of the sodium hydroxide s

miskamm [114]

Answer:

49 g/L is the concentration of the acid

Explanation:

Firstly, we proceed to write the equation of reaction.

2NaOH + H2SO4 ——-> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

We can see that 1 mole of the base reacted with two moles of the acid.

kindly note that dm^3 is same as liter

Firstly, we need to get the concentration of the reacted sulphuric acid in g/L

we use the simple titration equation below;

CaVa/CbVb = Na/Nb

From the question;

Ca = ?

Va = 25 cm^3

Cb = 20 g/L

we convert this to concentration in mol/L

Mathematically, that is concentration in g/L divided by molar mass in g/mole

molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

so we have; 20g/L / 40 = 0.5 mol/L

Vb = 50 cm^3

Na = 1

Nb = 2

Where C represents concentrations, V volumes and N , number of moles

Now, substitute the values;

Ca * 25/0.5 * 50 = 1/2

25Ca/25 = 0.5

So Ca = 0.5 mol/L

Now to get the concentration of H2SO4 in g/L

What we do is to multiply the concentration in mol/L by molar mass in g/mol

That would be 0.5 * 98 = 49 g/L
